Smita Gondkar wrote that the country lost another Nirbhaya and demanded stricter actions against such monsters who outrage a woman’s modesty in broad daylight.

Another Nirbhaya…
Hearing about brutality of these crimes, the sheer monstrosity fumes me in anger
Immediate, Strict action and laws need to be imposed against these monsters to put a full stop to these crimes against women…#ManishaValmiki #JusticeForManisha

The victim Manisha Valmiki lost her life two weeks after the rape in a Delhi hospital. The police are now investigating the involvement of caste in this case as the rapists were reportedly belonging to an upper caste as opposed to the victim who was a Dalit. Let’s hope that justice is served and culprits are punished for their cruel acts by the court.
